  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, what
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: did your parents do regularly that would get them canceled today?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask American mama's.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Mama, Mama, and.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Tiny is now our American Mama's turned out Ofville and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Kimberly bur listen. Okay, my parents listened to the show
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: every day. My dad had a joke, a running joke.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: He would always ask people women, He would say, will
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you marry me when I grow up? And he said
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this at least into his sixties and seventies, asking people
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: if they would marry him when he grew up. And
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: at this point, I'm pretty sure that would get you canceled.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You're not allowed to ask You're just not allowed to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: ask people. Hey, you know, will you marry me? All
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the time? Right, And my poor mom just has to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: kind of like grin and like this joke again. Yeah,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and only a couple of times did people think he
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: was serious. But anyway, that's a different story.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: But what you're very funny, Well, our mother carried the
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: wooden spoon with her where it was sticking out of
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: her purse. Yeah, I think that my backfire today.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Just in case there's something some emergency sturry up.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: My grandmother was a chain smoker, and I remember she
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: would be chain smoking in the car and she'd like,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: do a crack in the window, and we're like, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: trying to breathe out of the crack in the window.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is where she's dumping her ashes.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, dumping her ashes. Paddle I remember in high school,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you know, kids getting paddled, you know, boys getting in
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: fights and going and you can't do that today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That always struck me as weird, Like you have two
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: guys that are getting into a fight, and the way
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you teach them that fighting is wrong as you hit them.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: That always seemed that makes sense.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: But it worked, makes sense, and it was a feather
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: in their cap afterwards. I mean they talked about it
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: later on, but.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: They were proud had holes And remember the paddles with holes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I think that us having freedom, you know, we didn't
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: come back until the street lights went on.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: There's there's the one that I think really because when
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I was in elementary school, third fourth grade, I walked
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: home a mile, had a key around my neck, came
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: into the house and I wouldn't see anybody in my
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: family for four hours. Yeah, and yeah that that would
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: have gotten my parents arrested today in some jurisdictions, because
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you just can't let third and fourth graders walk a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mile home and then be at home by themselves for hours, you.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Know, with no checking in. There's no checking in.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Right, because nobody had cell phone.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Nobody had cell phones. Remember, we'd go down to that creek,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that water, and we would go I mean, like in
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: major adventures that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I remember for us. Oh gosh, remember that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we did whatever we wanted and then
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: we came in. They didn't even want us to come
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: in the house, so we had to drink.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: When the lights were that you could come in. Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the summer especially, he had to stay outside.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stay outside.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: You remember anything?
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: But well, you kind of covered everything that I could
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: think of. I just think that it's kind of sad
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: to me that that some of those are no longer
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: because it worked, you know, even the threat of the
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: wooden spoon, even if it wasn't hard, you know, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: think washing your mouth out was soap. That might be
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: one of the ones that people frown upon.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But ye, but.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's that spear of the rod spoil, the
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: child that that I always go back to, that's in
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: the Bible, And I think there has to be a
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: way to punish because you know, you say, Okay, I
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: didn't have to. I never had to spank Summer. She
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: was just so she was just so good from out
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: of the womb. She was just a good little girl.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: But in order for them, like let's say Slade wanted
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: was darting out into the middle of the streets, right,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: and I would spank his bottom and turn him around.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You will not, you know, and march back.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Home and he's crying and he's feeling his feelings are
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: hurt about it. And otherwise, how do you tell a
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: three year old, hey, listen, you don't want to go
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: out there because you'll get hit by cars.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: It has to be away. So that's our way we were.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: You know, we spanked.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: We spanked the boys up to a certain age and
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: then you could take things away.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You know, when they started understanding. We didn't beat them.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We spanked them so that they knew there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Had to be something they feared.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, with each of the kids, we there
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: was a time we had to take them out of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a restaurant, yes, because the kids were throwing a fit
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the restaurant. We were like, Nope,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: this is not how it does right. So you pick
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: them up, you march them through the entire restaurant and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: everybody's looking in their screaming, and you go outside and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the kids want to go back in the table, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we are not going back into there until you can
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: act like somebody who belongs.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: In a restaurant. I'll tell you this.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: There was one time, still as a teenager, and I
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: think a lot of teenage boys try to, uh, they.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Want to come to head with their mama.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: You know, they want to feel they feel like they're older, stronger,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: you know, they're that testosterone. And I will never We
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: were outside and I was telling Steele to pick up
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: sticks or whatever it was, and Kevin was on the
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: tractor and still got in my face, and so I
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: was like, you know, in his face. The tractor didn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: even like, didn't turn off. But Kevin saw just the
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: actual framework. He could see the framework happening, jumped off
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: of the tractor, came over there and this might get
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: him canceled or whatever, grabbed him by his shirts. Yea,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: you will never talk to your mother like that. You apologize.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I mean it was like a big deal. He was,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: you know, still was upset. There's that end that was
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: that part of me that was like, no, no, no,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: don't it's okay.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: But I didn't.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I let him do what he needed to do. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I think in today's time there might be somebody that
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: sees that and thinks.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: We got to cancel that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's so necessary.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I promise you still will do the same in honor
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: of his wife. If Ridge grew up and got in
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: her face, it's needed.
